WWE News: Smackdown Tag Team Titles to Be Defended at Money in the Bank on the Kickoff Show

A new match has been added to the WWE Money Bank PPV lineup for this Sunday and this one is taking place on the Kickoff Show. The match is on WWE.com right here. It will see Rey & Dominik Mysterio defending the Smackdown Tag Team Titles against The Usos – Jey & Jimmy Uso.

This is what WWE wrote about the Smackdown Tag Team Title match on their website:

SmackDown Tag Team Champions Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. The Usos

Universal Champion Roman Reigns hasn’t been shy about sharing his grand vision for SmackDown, and that vision includes his cousins hoisting tag team gold for the seventh time.

The Usos will have an opportunity to do exactly that when they challenge The Mysterios for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles this Sunday at WWE Money in the Bank.

The Mysterios only recently returned to the blue brand, but the two premier tandems have immediately become embroiled in a nasty rivalry, as Rey and Dominik have routinely provided backup for Edge during The Rated-R Superstar’s ongoing crusade against Reigns.

At the conclusion of a recent SmackDown, all six Superstars exchanged haymakers, but the evening ended with The Mysterios holding down Jey Uso as Edge applied an excruciating chair-leg assisted crossface.

With animosity at a boiling point, what will happen when The Usos attempt to capture the SmackDown Tag Team Titles for the fifth time against the first father-son Tag Team Champions in WWE history?
